At least that’s what a couple of nuns must be thinking after they were rescued from a lift where they were trapped for three days.

The Marist Sisters got stuck in the hot elevator in Rome when the power went out and neither of them had any food or water.

A nun who answered the phone at the order’s headquarters sighed deeply and said: ‘We are okay, but we are not talking to the press. Thank you for your concern. Goodbye.’

Police freed the two sisters, believed to be from Ireland and New Zealand, on Monday after they got stuck in an elevator during a power outage Friday. No one heard their cries for help over the weekend until a cleaner arrived on Monday morning.

News reports say the sisters prayed to pass the time. ANSA news agency says they were treated for dehydration.
